Dragon Breed (Activision)

An excellent arcade adventure with more than enough going on to keep you interested and, with the added bonus of the dragon's tail as an extra weapon, skilful play should bring good results.

Strider 2 (U. S. Gold)

An excellent conversion... Every bit as good as its predecessor.

Pick 'N Pile (Ubisoft)

It'll take you a couple of tries to sort out the earlier rounds but, once mastered, you'll be busy for a pretty long time.

Badlands (Domark)

The gameplay itself is fairly smooth and the movement of each racer is well controlled, the only problem being that they are a trifle small on the screen and a touch on the basic side.

The Amazing Spiderman (Empire)

There's an awful lot packed into this little offering and you'd certainly be wise to go out and get it as soon as possible.

Platinum (Capcom)

Considering the quality of the offerings in this collection, I would be very surprised if Platinum didn't outsell its stocks very, very quickly.

Championship Golf (D&H)

If you like your gameplay on the sedate side, why not give it a whirl?

The Footballer (Cult Games)

More soccer than you can handle and some super shooties to deal with your spare pennies.

Cup Football (Cult Games)

OK, so it's footie management again, but this one's got the added excitement of European Cup Football.

Superkid (Atlantis)

Superkid has plenty to offer in the action stakes and, as a one or two player game, there's sure to be enough competition to keep you going.

Barbarian II (Kixx)

Excellent graphics and superb gameplay... If you haven't played it already, don't wait too long to try it.

Skatin' USA (Atlantis)

This sequel might not be as colourful as the original Superkid, but the action's still there and Tom's just as lethal as before, so it's well worth adding this one to the collection.
